Solderless terminal
connections
! Do not connect cords with exposed core
wires to the amplifier power terminals
(power terminal, ground terminal, system
remote control terminal), since disconnec-
tion or breakage may result in fire or short-
circuit.
! Periodically inspect and tighten the wire as
necessary.
! Do not solder or bind the ends of the
twisted wires.
! Fasten while ensuring the insulating
sheath of the wire is not clamped.
! Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to
tighten and loosen the terminal screw of
the amplifier and use it to securely fasten
the wire. Be careful to avoid excessive tigh-
tening of this screw, which may damage
the wire.
CAUTION
Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to tighten
the screws when fastening wires to the terminal.
The use of a long, commercially available hexago-
nal wrench may exert excessive torque, possibly
resulting in damage to the terminals and
wires.

WARNING
! The use of a special red battery and ground
wire RD-228, available separately, is recom-
mended. Connect the battery wire directly to
the car battery positive terminal (+) and the
ground wire to the car body.
! If the battery wire is not securely fixed to the
terminal using the terminal screws, there is a
risk of overheating, malfunction and injury, in-
cluding minor burns.
1 Route battery wire from engine com-
partment to the vehicle interior.
After completing all other amplifier connec-
tions, finally connect the battery wire terminal
of the amplifier to the positive (+) battery
terminal.
